Which of the following is a type of performance test?

• A. Product, Combo, Process
• B. Knowledge
• C. Written
• D. Oral

Answer: (A)

Performance tests measure your ability to actually perform tasks or demonstrate a work-related skill, not just recall information. The type that fits this idea includes ways of showing the job is done: producing a tangible product, carrying out the steps of a process, or a combination of both. These forms require you to apply hands-on skills and execute tasks to a standard, which is the essence of a performance assessment.

Knowledge, written, and oral tests focus on what you know or can communicate rather than performing the task itself. Knowledge tests assess understanding or memory of information, while written and oral formats evaluate how well you can express or present that information.
